I worked for a bank a while ago and I had a customer come to my window and notice I was wearing a cross around my neck. He felt it was wrong that I wear something like that in public, he flat out told me he was an Atheist. So I flipped over a $1 bill and showed him "IN GOD WE TRUST"; asked him if he hated God and felt so strongly about it what on Earth was he doing here. The look of shock on his face as he walked away was priceless (he didn't even finish his transaction). However, the manager scolded me and said "to make the customer happy I should have apologized to him or tucked my necklace into my shirt..." I was astonished... what should I have done?

because I am black. Now I do now that there is a black govenment and that positive discrimination in favour of black people goes on in that country, but this is the problem I don't want to get involved in the politics, i just want to go for a holiday.

I have a few white South African friends who have told me that their families are having a hard time in the country [economically] and I just don't want my colour to be an issue when I'd just be a tourist.

I know that black people may [or may not] treat me ok but i am a bit worried about hostility from white SA's.
BTW It never occured to me there might be issues until a few SA's friends told me about the situation in the country...

I see it frequently in chat, on message board, and sometimes even here on answers. Just curious to see what the general public thinks of it.

I don't mean any offense to blondes, but why is blonde hair so overrated in the white American culture? I went to my aunt's wedding, and her husband's brother in law was (jokingly) remarking to his son to "let the blondes come in free" and charge everyone else. I see the same thing when my aunt had a baby (son), there were so many remarks about "checking out the blondes this" and "blonde babes" that. Even on TV, the main character (of any race) when he's with a white woman 80% of the time she's blonde. I'm just curious why is blonde hair so prized in the white American community? Again, I have nothing against it, but there are brunettes, redheads, and dark-haired women who are equally as beautiful as well. And most of the blondes that are prized are fake blondes, not natural ones.

I think that anybody using YA should be required to accept e-mails from anybody. The people that hide behind a nickname and make statements but won't allow rebuttal are cowards in my opinion.

It's as if neither they, nor their God, has any sense of humor whatsoever. The sin of self-righteousness is nearly as sick as the sin of pride. It's a combination of self abuse and abuse of power. Can't you lighten up? We're just trying to have a good time here...and maybe advance a few friendships....you have nothing better to do with your good intentions? ...uh, y'all..!

Ranking Conspiracy Theories: Ranking them, in the order of plausibility. Tell me what you think of my list.

Highly Plausible: CIA involvement in JFK's death. JFK was killed less than a month after he ordered the assassination of South Vietnam's President. I think he was killed because his drug abuse and philandering made him a national security and diplomatic danger to the US.

Plausible: FDR knew about Pearl Harbor. I don't think anyone in the govt or military knew that Pearl Harbor would be attacked on Dec. 7th. But they knew that imposing and embargo on Japan would lead to war. They also knew that the US people would not choose to enter WW2 unless they were attacked. So they chose to let the attack occur.

Plausible: UFOs exist. I think it's possible, maybe even likely, when you consider the thousands of people, including astronauts and pilots, who have claimed to have seen UFOs.

Laughable: Bush planned the WTC attacks. No evidence supports these theories.

I'm watching a program about the WTC conspiracy theorists. It's amazing how these people hold on to beliefs, despite all rational argument and proof to the contrary, and frightening how vehemently or even violently they hold onto those beliefs.

In my opinion, it's an example of "magical thinking", where logical thought is bypassed. It reminds me of religious thought, which can hold onto beliefs which are physically impossible. These people's beliefs become so strong they often form a basis of their life.

I think it's an interesting aspect of the human psyche. Whether you become consumed with the idea that George Bush blew up the Pentagon and WTC, or enraptured with the idea that Jesus rose from the dead. What do you think is behind this phenomenon?

I read that the health service in USA was considered at a low level by the world health org., worse than in Costa Rica, even if the USA medical research is at the top. Maybe because in USA health is considered a private business and not a human right and a public service, like, e.g., in Europe. What do you think of it? Do you think that things are going to change or the private interest of ensurance companies will still prevail in the USA government politics?

High waisted, poorly fitted jeans are called "mommy jeans". People don’t want to get hair cuts that will make them look like "soccer moms" or drive cars that look like "mom cars". What does that mean? It seems people think that if you're a mother you are matronly, less stylish or drive a certain type of car, etc. Where does this misconception about being a mother come from?
